1. I don’t know what the groin or testicular pain is but herpes does not usually cause this type of pain.
2. Prostatitis is not caused by herpes.
3. See the answer above.
4. It is not possible to test for all of the bacteria that might be causing prostatitis, but we do know what antibiotics are usually successful in treating this infection, even if we cannot identify a specific germ.
5. I do not agree with your doctor about the IgM being the definitive test for herpes at this point. The definitive test is an IgG antibody test at 16 weeks. However, I do think it is good news that at 6 weeks, you are still negative by IgG for HSV 2. There is a 70% chance your test results will stay that way.
